NorthPoint Development, a Kansas City-based company, is working on an industrial project in Hazelwood begun by developer Paul McKee.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held Tuesday at the site on Hazelwood Logistrics Center Drive, north of Lambert-50¶È»ÒÊÓƵ International Airport.
Hazelwood Logistics Center, the project's name, has for now Tagg Logistics and RGH Enerprises as tenants.
NorthPoint plans to construct more warehouse and light-manufacturing facilities. Sitework is underway with construction of the first building scheduled to begin next week, officials said.
McKee was the initial developer of the Hazelwood Logistics Center. The project stalled and McKee claimed that a botched cleanup of a landfill that had occupied part of the 151-acre site made the project unsaleable. The project’s lender, BancorpSouth Bank, sued and obtained a $31.8 million judgment against McKee in 2012.
